Fenugreek works..

so I'm the one with the overactive letdown. About a couple days ago my breasts suddenly felt empty. I posted on here and I got some pretty good advice--telling me it was normal. My mum thought I dried up and decided I needed to "up" my supply. fed me fenugreek for a copule days. just the seeds, plain boiled with some rice and jaggery for making it edible.

Now one of my boobs is engorged and lumpy, I'm trying to drain out the milk and go back to normal, and applykng pressure on the lumps has made my boob feel like it's been punched. Ouch.

From my exp. The nipple blister can be a blessing. I once had a terrible hard lump that would not disappear after hours of massaging. Eventually a nip blister appeared, I popped it and then the milk was finally able to flow freely. I felt like i was seconds away from mastitis.

I read about the popping it yourself thing but I was too scared, my LO had thrush and I was too nervous incase I made anything worse.

I called my doc. he asked me to come in right away and saw me (on a Sunday afternoon!) thank god he did, I would have died from the discomfort and pain! Anyway he said it was totally fine and to keep feeding on that side.. but I was in tears because the engorgement felt so bad, he said he could pierce it and i ws like HELL YES! 1 feed later i was totally back to my empty FTM boobies. So much blissssss, I don't even care how saggy they are, lol.
